"Down To The River We Go" lyrics

Behold this golden wind
In fits and starts it speaks of reckonings
Shadows fall, twilight wanes
Voices unknown keep calling out our names

As we go down down down
Down to the river below
We go down down down
Into the teeth of the undertow

Some say of rain, when it goes to falling
Well it's just angels weeping up in heaven
Their sacred tears can fall a thousand years
And amount to nothing
They just don't mean nothing

Them tears go down down down
Into the river they flow
Yes, they go down down down
Spinning round and round
Into the teeth of the undertow

Down to the river we go
We go down into the undertow
We go down, see baby you and me
So secretly
We both wanna drown in the river below
We go down into the undertow
Down, see baby you and me
So secretly
We both wanna drown
We both wanna drown
We just wanna drown

Our two hearts hungry to fly
Are but broken winged birds just glaring at the sky
Our hollow bones, how they ache and moan
Begging to soar above this earth, to rise up on high
But from all we have seen
These sorrows we have known
It ain't no secretly baby, this world is not our home
No, all we can claim past this flesh and this bone
Is what comfort we take down here on our own
It's this comfort we take down here on our own

So darling take my hand
Let us surrender to the sound
Hear the river softly whispering
How it'll carry us on down?
Fear not this fleeting pain
As the shadows gently fall
Just wade into this darkness
Close your eyes and heed the call

Down to the river we go
We go down, go to the undertow
We go down, see baby you and me
So secretly
We both wanna drown in the river below
We go down into the undertow
Down, see baby you and me
So secretly
We both wanna drown
We both wanna drown
We both wanna drown
We just wanna drown
